Ajali za barabarani zinatajwa kuwa ndio zinasababisha vifo vingi vya watoto na vijana duniani, kwa mujibu wa shirika la afya duniani(WHO).
Shirika hilo la afya limechapisha ripoti ambayo inabainisha kwamba bara la Afrika ndilo lina ajali nyingi za barabarani duniani.
Katika taarifa nyingi zinasema kwamba waafrika na wamarekani wa Kusini bado hawana sheria nzuri za kudhibiti mwendo kasi.
Lakini taarifa hizo zimesisitiza kwamba vifo vinavyotokana na ajali za barabarani duniani huwa zinalingana na kiwango cha idadi ya watu.
Ajali za magari ndio zinaongoza duniani kusababisha vifo kwa watoto na vijana wenye umri kati ya miaka mitano mpaka 29, ripoti hiyo imesema.
Ripoti hiyo pia imeeleza kwamba watu wengi zaidi wanakufa kutokana na ajali za barabarani kuliko virusi vya ukimwi , kifua kikuu au magojwa ya kuhara.
"Vifo hivyo havikubaliki, hakuna sababu inayoweza kutetea matukio hayo .Hili ni tatizo ambalo linaweza kutafutiwa ufumbuzi" Mkurugenzi wa WHO alisema.
RIPOTI
Ripoti ya Shirika la afya duniani inasema kwamba kuna vifo 27 kwa kila watu 1000 . Vifo vya barabarani katika nchi za Afrika ni mara tatu zaidi ya ajali zinazotokea Ulaya, ambako kuna ajali chache zaidi.
Imesema ni karibu nusu ya mataifa 54 ya Afrika hayana sheria za mwendo kasi katika nchi zao.
Botswana, Ivory Coast na Cameroon, ni miongoni mwa nchi ambazo zimeona kiwango cha vifo vikiongezeka.
Egypt, Angola, Burkina Faso na Burundi ni miongoni mwa nchi ambazo wameshuhudia kuona ajali zikipungua.
RWANDA

Afrika ina kiwango kikubwa ya ajali ambazo zinasababisha vifo.

Kwa mujibu wa taarifa za hivi karibuni , zinasema kuwa watu milioni 1.35 waliuwawa katika ajali za magari duniani kwa mwaka 2016, kiwango ambacho kiko tofauti kidogo na mwaka uliopita.

Mexico elects Claudia Sheinbaum as first woman president

Claudia Sheinbaum has been elected as Mexico's first woman president in an historic landslide win. Mexico's official electoral authority said preliminary results showed the 61-year-old former mayor of Mexico City winning between 58% and 60% of the vote in Sunday's election. That gives her a lead of almost 30 percentage points over her main rival, businesswoman Xóchitl Gálvez. Ms Sheinbaum will replace her mentor, outgoing President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, on 1 October. Ms Sheinbaum, a former energy scientist, has promised continuity, saying that she will continue to build on the "advances" made by Mr López Obrador. In her victory speech, she told voters: "I won't fail you." Her supporters are celebrating at the Zócalo, Mexico City's main square, waving banners reading "Claudia Sheinbaum, president". Prior to running for president, Ms Sheinbaum was mayor of Mexico City, one of the most influential political positions in the country ...

How AI turned a Ukrainian YouTuber into a Russian

How AI turned a Ukrainian YouTuber into a Russian “I don't want anyone to think that I ever said these horrible things in my life. Using a Ukrainian girl for a face promoting Russia. It's crazy.” Olga Loiek has seen her face appear in various videos on Chinese social media - a result of easy-to-use generative AI tools available online. “I could see my face and hear my voice. But it was all very creepy, because I saw myself saying things that I never said,” the 21-year-old, who studies at the University of Pennsylvania, told the BBC. The accounts featuring her likeness had dozens of different names like Sofia, Natasha, April, and Stacy. These “girls” were speaking in Mandarin - a language Olga had never learned. They were apparently from Russia, and talked about China-Russia friendship or advertised Russian products. “I saw like 90% of the videos were talking about China and Russia, China-Russia friendship, that we have to be strong allies, as well as advertisements for food.” O...

What to expect from the 2024 Democratic National Convention

With just three months to go before the 2024 election, thousands are set to gather in Chicago this week for the Democratic National Convention. It’s a tradition dating back to the 1830s, when a group of Democratic delegates supporting President Andrew Jackson gathered in Baltimore to nominate him for a second term. This year will look slightly different from others, as the Democratic Party has already officially nominated Vice-President Kamala Harris in a virtual roll call after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race. But many of the other DNC traditions - including appearances from celebrities and memorable speeches from party leaders - will remain the same. Here’s what to know. What happens at the DNC? Because Ms Harris and Mr Walz have already been nominated, this year’s convention will focus on speeches from prominent Democrats and the adoption of the party’s platform. Delegates work during the day to finalise the platform, a draft of which has already been released. It focuse...
